After playing it out for the past month or so, Dutch producer, DJ sensation Martin Garrix has uploaded the full version of his official remix for The Weeknd's hit single "Can't Feel My Face." The original has been arguably the song of the summer, competing with tracks like the Felix Jaehn remix of Omi's "Cheerleader," "Lean On" and "Where Are Ü Now." Now Garrix taking it away from the radio and to the main stage with a booming, synth heavy rework that will give EDM fans plenty to rejoice over.
The 18 year-old Dutchman completely strips away the original instrumental crafted by Max Martin, which may turn away many pop and R&B fans that The Weeknd has wooed with this track, and puts together a brand new song of his own. He adds Tesfaye's iconic chorus to the tune, sprinkling it throughout the two builds and adds pitching vocal bits in the drops.
The tune is different from the offset, but it really takes a turn for the EDM festival main stage when he adds powerful synths and growling sub bass over a thumping four on the floor beat to the drops that still manage to fit with The Weeknd's sultry crooning voice.
This remix may not have the radio appeal that original had, but expect to hear it plenty with the star power that Martin Garrix has attached to this remix. DJs will be itching to play this record to get the pop-EDM crossover appeal in their sets.
No firm release date has been set for the remix yet, but until then listen to the full mix below on Garrix's SoundCloud.
